Four options for publicly funded HPV immunization programs were considered initially for the disease modelling and the economic analysis. Under each option, estimations for coverage are included.
Option 1: One female cohort selected from grades 4 to 7 (aged 9-14)
Option 2: Two female cohorts from grades 4 to 12 (aged 9-18)
Option 3: School-based program, multiple female cohorts (at minimum one cohort from each elementary, junior and high school age group, i.e. a total of three cohorts)
Table 1 illustrates option 3, with immunization of grades 4, 7 and 12 females. It reflects the duration/number of years for which three cohorts, two cohorts and then only routine HPV immunization of one cohort would have to be continued.

Option 4: All females in the recommended range of 9-26 years (option 1 is included in this option; this is mostly a catch-up program)
